For my own sanity going forward, I was wondering what heuristics are involved in Windows 10 automatic selection when creating a new partition from unallocated space during the Win10 installation?
I recently did a clean install of Win10 x64 on my Crucial P1 NVMe, and I was not given a prompt to choose my partitioning scheme for the drive. Win10 automatically chose MBR and completed the install. So I started over, formatted the drive, and used diskpart to force GPT partitioning on my P1 instead and completed the installation as expected.
Later found that I had USB booting set to "legacy mode" in my UEFI. Is this the reason Win10 chose MBR for my installation?
